but back when -- in june and may when i spoke to the obama administration about how they thought about zubsuccess, they not use seven million number. they did not say getting seven million and one million was young and healthy. success was all about getting this right, getting the ratios right so the premiums would be low enough that over the first two or three years it would be a good deal and people would come in. so the important thing for the administration is not seven million versus five million versus nine million. it's how many of them are young and healthy. they need about 40% in order to keep premiums at the levels they want them. >> and to that point, there was a recent gallup poll. 37% of americans under 30 are the least familiar with the health care law. more than any other age group. and obviously we've talked about the fact the president is reaching out to young people today. he's going to be in a college audience with chris matthews tomorrow. how does he sell this? >> i think the thing with chris matthews will fix it. for one thing they haven't started their real push y

administration from transferring terrorism detainees from gitmo to the u.s., requires the dishonorable discharge or dismissal of anyone convicted of sexual assaults and stops military commanders from changing the findings of prosecutors, although it doesn't go as far as kirsten gillibrand's bill. do you support the proposal as it is now? >> i do support the proposal. >> will it pass? >> i'm disappointed we didn't get to bring it to the senate floor for members actually to be able to offer amendments and the senate to work its will. but given that it is now the second week of december and we need a bill to support our troops and to give all the authority needed for d.o.d. to protect americans, i think this is the best solution. and in spite of not being able to have regular order, i personally would vote for this sort of approach going forward. hope we can have a senate that actually allows amendments and full debate. i think senator gillibrand, i would not support her amendment, but i think she deserved a debate and a vote on it. >> senator roger wicker, thank you so much. >> you bet.

but the obama administration admitted this morning on "the daily rundown" it's still not running ads or doing any marketing trying to drive traffic to the site. >> we wanted to see how these first few days go. if we're getting a lot of traffic, then we don't feel the need to drive it. our view is we are not doing that because we don't need to do that in terms of driving traffic. we're going to monitor. it's not about confidence in the site, it's about whether or not you actually need to drive traffic. >> and there are also still concerns about the back end of the site. that's the part that sends information to insurance companies. republicans on the sunday show still aren't satisfied. >> the first impression here was terrible. and i think it's going to be an unfolding disaster for the president. >> i still think the foundations of this plan have some of the same kinds of problems that the rollout has had, but they're fundamental, very hard to overcome and unfortunately as people enroll, i think there's going to be a lot of negative surprises as to what they're able to enroll in. >> i

. >> jason, all three of these democrats that i pointed out voted for obama care but criticized the administration's handling of the rollout. one attack called the landrieu barack obama's rubber stamp. how big a problem is the affordable care act going to be for these democrats. >> well, if the election were this year it would be a big problem but luckily it's next year. this year it's a political problem. next year it's a consume issue. it's like the medicaid part d rollout. when it rolled out, it was a huge problem and then a year later people were using the benefits, using the products and they liked it. this time next year this isn't going to be perhaps a winning issue for democrats but it's not going to be the silver bullet that republicans think it is. >> danny, let's not pretend that attack ads are anything new, but it does seem that the quantity of them, how early they start before an election has changed dramatically. part of it is super pacs, part of it is just the general mood that's out there in washington. so is this a problem not just obviously for the people who are trying to run for
